  1. NZ men's rowing is probably the weakest it has ever been and I can only see minor medals for a few crews. On the flip side the women are probably the strongest it has ever been.
  2. Lisa looks absolutely fit and focussed this year. There seems to be a real mean ruthless streak about her nowadays.
  3. If I remember right Sir Peter Snell did the 800/1500m double and won both events to establish himself as one of the greatest middle distance runners in history. Absolute legend.
  4. Cuban sports has really fallen in the past decade. Is it due to lack of funding in sports institutes? A mass of defections? Or does the country now have other priorities that the state have neglected and are finally given the attention it needed after so many years? Over the years they have massively punched above their weight but now we are just witnessing the decline even more.
  5. I'm so happy for Clareburt a star on the rise. In an ironic twist Jay Litherland is both Japanese and Kiwi who represents the USA
  6. Excellent another swimming medal and a gold one for Suid Afrika
  7. At least it's on TV in the Netherlands. Not even shown in Australia or New Zealand TV. State or Pay.
  8. Karma has definitely bitten Australia here but I will say one thing at least the media at this side of the world won't try covering this up like let's say China and Russia. I had my doubts but this has made news on every major outlet and newspaper in the country. In fact so much so snippets of tomorrow's national papers will have it on the front cover. At least the state media won't run and cover it up like China or Russia
  9. Very. But at least some Aussies have some sense. One lady on there is making a point about her being a tax payer and the tax payer in Australia gives hundreds of millions to the AIS (Australian Institute of Sport). That this should all come out in public and not behind closed doors that public have the right to know the situation with regards to this saga. Also the goings on in Aussie sport. It should be all very transparent.
  10. I'm just reading through her Instagram and some of the big Australian stars of yesteryear are all there commenting and supporting her. One of them Leisel Jones who is a big anti drugs advocate and who often calls out Sun Yang is sympathising with her. What a double standard and am quite happy the Chinese trolls are calling her out
  11. They would because the media here will just brush it off as some kind of mistake. It clearly isn't a mistake. You kinda sensed something was up when she suddenly made herself unavailable. Not a good look for Australia either way.
  12. The Chinese bots will be flooding her Instagram account now
  13. Duncan Scott's led off time was 1:44:91 which would've won him the 200m free
  14. Yaaaas another gold for big brother Australia. Another relay gold lol
  15. Yasssss Tatjana! South Africa's new swimming hope. Just a shame she got beaten by a drug cheat.
  16. Why yes and it was a surprise WR for the land of OZ. Anyway off topic again one my fav athletes Wayde Van Niekerk is of course a coloured and has some Dutch blood running in his veins
  17. I think they are known as Coloureds in SA. I know that's a derogatory term in the States but in SA it's perfectly accepted to call a person coloured.
  18. Yeah the article is right. In fact I lie I am watching it through my smartphone connected to my smart TV via the Swimming Australia app which I have paid a fee for. So theoretically it isn't even on pay TV in a way. This is something new for the Australian public to deal with. Now god forbid if this happened to Aussie Rules (AFL) or Cricket the national sports of Australia. Will be riots on the street.
  19. Aussie commentary saying Matt Wilson equalled the WR not broke it? Ok now they having a squabble over it ???
  20. Dressel v Chalmers what a fantastic final. Dressel is just a champion and an all round nice person. He left Chalmers to do too much in the end. Other than that it's been a good champs so far for Australia.
  21. Well I didn't expect Australia to win that event to be honest.
